| Guitarguy said: Sony are one of the few companies that still cater for videophiles. Their Bravia engine is great at upscaling sub-1080P content(retro consoles via the optimal connections), their TV's still contain component input(I hope they never go away) and their TV's generally have the least amount of input lag. I do think it is still a few years away where we everything(games, blu ray, TV etc) will be true 4K though. I'm fine with waiting as the prices of 4K TVs will drop significantly. But then there is OLED... HOT DAMN!!! |
OLED looks fantastic but for the price the features are a bit lacking, plus burn is is a concern again. They advise against displaying 4:3 content for more than an hour. Plus the brightness dimms over time, its like early plasma again.
I wonder what happened to laser projection. It was the next big thing in 2012, gone silent since.

Sony made one, VPL-GTZ270, but that's for the professional market. Can't even find a price, and 5000 lumens is overkill for home theater. They also made an ultra short throw 4k laser projector you can simply put on the floor in front of a wall VPL-GTZ1, running at $50k :/
OLED is cheap compared to that :) Yet a 55" 4K tv kinda defeats the purpose imo. I'm spoiled by the big screen.
I paid $4000 for a very good 1080p projector in 2007 which still looks great after over 10,000 hours of use (4 lamp replacements already though) Maybe next year 4K projectors hit that price. Yet the ps5 could be coming out by the time OLED and 4K projectors mature enough.
